What 48 volt charger to get?

[jsn829]

Just wondering which 48 V battery charger do people prefer? Or which one is going to last? Thanks 2014 txt 48 volt

Any charger under $150 is one to NOT get, that's for sure. Some people like DPI, some like the new lester summit.

Lester Summit does have the biggest selection of charge algorithms and the longest warranty (4 years) ... did I mention the phone app? Probably didn't need to

I have the Lester Summit II and it's a great charger. Also have Delta QuiQ charge and they are good charger also. Stay clear of any E-Z-GO PowerWise Qe chargers, silver or black. Also have a Lester Links Series that is a good no frills charger.

We sell Eagle Performance series chargers, which auto-detect and select profiles on their own, and can maintain full charge over winter (unlike the stock PowerWise of any vintage). Pro Charging Systems sells them. They're basically a smarter ferro-resonant charger. Transformer, capacitor, etc but with smarter electronics than a stock PowerWise or PowerWise II (and we have not seen one fail yet)

They retail for $450 with a 2-year warranty.

Those Yellow/black "Bumblebee" QuiQs we have about as many dead of them as we do QEs. They seem to fail the same rate as a QE from experience. Seen a few that were dead on the last fleet of RXVs we got in, which had those in place of the standard QEs. Flashed various fault codes. Can't really repair them any more than one could a QE. Throwaway junk. I will never recommend a Delta Q anything to anyone. Never seen anything good come from them. Delta Q makes those ERIC chargers for Club Cars and they're JUNK as well. Even cheaper and even harder to get into than a QE/SC-48/QuiQ.
